I have had a fascination for glass since childhood and when the opportunity to work with it arose there was just no contest!

Made in my West Wales studio the beads are Lampworked using glass rods in an oxygen/propane gas torch, then annealed in a kiln to stabilise the glass. The whole process is an adventure, glass overlaid with different shades and colours produce amazing effects and helps to make the beads really special.

The nature of individually hand made beads is such that they will inevitably differ slightly in size shape and design but its so much fun and exciting creating them!

When the beads are completed they are made up into costume and fashion
jewellery items of necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings and earrings.
